The iPhone is a smartphone designed and manufactured by Apple. The phone is packed with intelligent features including texting, a portable media player, visual voicemail, a camera, Internet access, and a multi-touch virtual keyboard. By default, the iPhone is set to ring for 20 seconds before going to voicemail. If 20 seconds is too short or too long for your liking, the length of time the phone rings can be changed.
